Span Calculator
Maximum allowable span for joists, rafters, and headers via bending + deflection check.
Span tables, insulation R/U-value, material quantity, plus rafter, stairs, and footings — based on KS standards and Korean building code.
Maximum allowable span for joists, rafters, and headers via bending + deflection check.
Multi-layer wall composite R-value and U-value with auto pass/fail per Korean energy code.
Sheets of OSB, plywood, gypsum, siding from area and waste factor + nail/screw estimate.
Compute number of steps, riser height, and tread depth per Korean building code.
Compute rafter cut length, angle, and slope from run and rise.
Convert between angle, slope (%), and pitch (rise/12) representations.
Plan area + slope angle → actual roof slope area + eave area.
Strip footing or mat slab concrete volume + rebar weight + remicon truck count.
Convert lumber dimensions and count into volume, board feet, sai, and weight.
Quantity take-off calculators for brick, rebar, tile, wallpaper and other materials — useful for remodeling and interior estimates as well as timber framing.
For foundations, the concrete and gravel calculators give pour volume and aggregate quantities. For framing, the stud, span, rafter, and roof pitch calculators size members and count quantities. Exterior work is covered by the roof area and siding calculators, interior work by insulation, drywall, plywood/OSB, and paint — with deck and stair tools completing the sequence.
Three principles apply to every takeoff: measure actual site dimensions rather than trusting drawings, add a waste factor that differs by material, and round up to purchasable units such as 4×8 sheets. The items most often missing from estimates are waste factors and consumables like nails, screws, and waterproofing membrane, so carry the margins shown in each result.
Structural calculators such as span and rafter reference light-frame construction tables, but actual construction must include a structural review for the loads involved. These tools support estimating and material ordering — they do not replace a structural engineer's judgment.
